Nikhail Gorbachev (the only politican I heard Osho praise, and often) awarded the "Man for Peace" prize to Yusef Islam (formerly pop singer Cat Stevens) in Rome recently.
Gorbechev praised the singer for his charity work, and despite personal hardship standing up for his convictions. The prize cites Yusef's "condemnation of terrorism".
Yusef's charity, "Small Kindness" raises money for children and families suffering cos of war in the Balkans and the Middle East.
Yusef Islam was recently denied entrance to the United States on the grounds of being a likely terrorist.
May God help the United States is all I can say, what idiots are in controlof that place. It is astounding. Osho was wrong in thinking that the future was there.
